I’m on a cookie kick! But trying to avoid sugar as much as possible because it makes me feel really sick. The struggle is trying not to eat 12 cookies in one day…..self control seems to be a problem over here! The first time I made these I used Buckwheat flour…but I didn’t have any around this time SO I improvised and used my dry Vitamix blender and made steel cut oats into flour and they still turned okay great! Give them a try! Let me know what you think 🙂

I got this recipe from my friend Megan over at The Nutritional Addiction. Thank you!!! This jam is amazing! I could eat it by the spoonful… Or on waffles, pancakes, ice cream, sandwiches, yogurt you name it! It would also make a great gift!

Ingredients:

1 c dried chopped figs

1 c water

3 tbsp honey

1 tbsp chia seeds

1/2 tsp vanilla

1 tsp lemon juice

let cool and pour into food processor. Process for about 2 minutes until smooth- butter! I could eat this by the spoonful… Or on waffles, pancakes, ice cream, yogurt or even give it as a gift!

Directions:

Combine digs, water & honey in a pot and bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes.

Stir in chia seeds and let simmer for another 15 minutes

Remove from heat and stir in vanilla & lemon juice.

Let cool and pour into food processor. Process for about 2 minutes until it’s a smooth butter!

So many people skip breakfast because they don’t have time… or let’s be real, are just straight up too lazy.

BUT there’s no excuse! This will take you 30 seconds! Plus it is SO much healthier than store bought cereal. Just because cereals are are gluten free, or are claimed ‘healthy’ they are typically loaded with tons of sugar…
